Parole Denied for Convicted Sex Offender

On September 14, 2023, via a virtual hearing, TCDA prosecutors secured the denial of parole for Luis Gonzalez, age 76. Gonzalez is currently serving a life sentence at the California Substance Abuse Facility in Corcoran for child molestation.

From 2002 to 2006, Gonzalez molested two minor victims. In 2010, Gonzalez was convicted by a jury of 13 counts of child molestation and was sentenced to 195 years-to-life in prison.

This was Gonzalez’s first parole hearing and is not eligible for a second hearing until 2029.

The Office of the District Attorney regularly attends life parole hearings and a prosecutor argued against the inmate’s release in this case.
